How active is my corn snake supposed to be?
I've had him for about three weeks - he started out shy, but now he seems to be "begging" to get out of his tank and be held. If he isn't in my pocket or otherwise being lavished with attention, he seems to be lonely - if snakes get lonely. I can't carry him everywhere, though I am trying... would he be happier with another snake? He even lets the cat sit on him - he is that desperate for attention!
I guess I DO tend to give my animals human emotions - I think of them as people... and like them better than most people I know!

They like to try to find a way out, snakes don't get "lonely", they are solitary species.

Corn snakes do try to get out of their cages, but I don't think it has anything to do with being lonely. They just like to explore. You don't have to carry him everywhere. They are quite accustom to being by themselves. You may be giving him human emotions. I hope you continue enjoying him as he grows.
